Landfalls...
...lower house of parliament approved a resolution supporting the Great Ape Project, an organization and manifesto founded by ethicists Peter Singer and Paola Cavalieri, which argues that three essential human rights - life, liberty and freedom from physical and psychological torture - should be extended to our closest hominid relatives.
